Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who actually were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience. Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year. In 2003 "Ether Song" got to #3 in the UK album charts and spawned a Top 5 single "Pain Killer". Further commercial success was not achieved.

Little Brother Lyrics
Turin Brakes
Relax, relax, relax...my little brother
All that you'd been through...a lifetime
So cling on, cling on, cling on to me my little brother
And we'll laugh at the grand scheme of things...
Burned yourself down to the ground
You picked me out from a crowd
You're losing it, I couldn't tell
Till you hung yourself
You hurt yourself, you burned the bridge
mole-hills turned to mountains in your way
I.ve been there, in solitude
but i could never save you that day
You got lost in the grand scheme of things
Burned yourself down to the ground
You picked me out from a crowd
You're losing it, I couldn't tell
Till you hung yourself
But you are keeping me breathibg
Your voice is keeping me moving
There was a way out of this mess
Plenty of time, find a new place
Catch you some sunshine for you're face
We were running on..empty
You killed yourself, but i was sleeping...
